The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. When we met, neither of us ever thought we would see each other again. We were two young kids, with more weight on our shoulders than we would let the world see, and for some reason we sparked an unexplainable connection. I had just finished a high school volleyball game and had come off the court to support the next team up for a match. I sat on the old gym bleachers surrounded by friends and someone I hadn't met. We introduced ourselves and started talking, laughing, telling awful jokes, being our genuine selves without trying, and to be honest, I don't remember who won or lost the volleyball game that night because I knew is that I had met someone truly special.

Hold on to your seats folks because this ones a wild ride! The thought of proposing to Kami has been on my mind for years before this had happened. I had found the perfect ring around the time we had our trip planned to Maui, Hawaii. From the time I had ordered the ring, to a couple months before our trip, we had decided to go look at rings at some local jewelers. Now, I already had the ring at this point, so I figured we would be solidifying the thought of a rose gold, pavé band, oval stoned ring. That changed. Kami fell in LOVE with a pear shaped stone. I was on a mission to get Kami her perfect ring. I got in contact with the website I had purchased the ring from to see about changing the current ring. We talked about changing the stone shape, how it would take just a couple weeks, and I was off to FedEx to send the ring back. Three weeks had gone by, and I still was without a new ring for Kami. At this point, we had about a week until we left for Maui. Our departure date had finally come, still no ring. I was contacted monday, the day before our depature day, a delay had occured. The ring wasn’t in my possesion as we walked on the tarmac to our plane to San Fransico for our connecting flight. It shipped the day we left, the website was able to send the new ring from Texas, to our hotel on Maui. My goal was to propose with a ring or no ring at all on the upcoming Friday. I received a call from the front desk at our hotel saying I had received a package. The ring had finally came, Friday had come and I took Kami to the perfect beach called Makena Cove. Kami was climbing around on some rocks to check out a tropical crab, she turned around and found me down on one knee asking for her to be my wife.
